RMD: F150 (duragloss)

The customer wanted a wash and wax for his 2006 F 150, but I went a little farther.

Process: Degrease tires, wells, lower panels, and grill w/ purple power
Meg wheel brite on rims
Wash w/ citrus wash
DG 501 w/ white pad
DG 105 w/ blue pad
Malco Aquawax wipe down
Hyper dressing on all trim and tires via air compressor

looks good.

IMO, I would have just did the wash and wax unless he paid for the other. My time is money and anything I throw in for free is just money I lose for that detail and cuts into time for other work.
My thoughts though.

How is the compressor/dressing working for you?

I hate putting on dressing any other way. As far as the extra work goes, he was paying 100.00 for wash and waxes on 3 different vehicles so I threw in a little extra. Sometimes taking a little more time w/ a customers makes you more money in the long run. I know time is money. I detail 4 to 5 days a week about 8 hours each day. Thanks for the input though.

ahhh, didn't know there were more vehicles. Then yes, a little extra is good. As when I have several vehicles for one customer, I do the same. Didn't know if it was one or what.
I always tell them though, that I had a little extra time, so I did 'so and so" extra at no charge. I do that because I do not want them to think it'll get done every time I come out. If you know what I mean.


Weather getting cold that way?

Sweet! Nice work!

I'm also finding the Duragloss products to be excellent, especially given the price and availability (now that I've found a local source )
